My novel Escape! is now available for pre-order at stephenfishbach.com or escapefishbach.com (which sounds like a horror movie). I wrote a post about it and about my inspiration for writing it. open.substack.com/pub/stephe…

There are many extraordinary things about being a girl dad, but the absolute worst part is all the urine I have to wipe off toilet seats in the men’s room when I take them to the bathroom.

funny how many splices you can actually hear in his winner confessional. Dude, I don’t care what they call me [cut]. I’m going to win [cut] The million dollars [cut] So I guess my nickname’s Fabio. I wonder if AI has smoothed this stuff out because I don't notice it as much anymore.
"Fabio, like, rides a white horse and does butter commercials and is kind of a cheese ball. Whatever. Dude, I don't care what they call me. I'm gonna win the million dollars so I guess my nickname is Fabio." #Survivor #SurvivorNicaragua

I have always found that I notice splices like these more on a rewatch of an episode (even years later) than a first watch. I assume that’s because on the first watch I’m watching more to follow along and seeing things again it’s just easier to notice something sounding off

I have to rewatch to say for sure, but if they fixed their storytelling competency issues from last season, Sharonda is by far the stand out to win for me. Giving me Michele vibes the way we’re constantly coming back to her when we don’t necessarily need to #Survivor #Survivor51

Today is always the day for hope whitepillbook.com
So this arrived today. Is the timing comedic? Ironic? Perhaps a sign of things to come? Whichever the case, I'm looking forward to reading it! @michaelmalice

Today I'm starting The Trick, a newsletter going through every single Agatha Christie novel to analyze how she did it. Volume 1: Death on the Nile

I assumed he meant Devin but I would 100% support this
maybe she’s the inexplicable replacement host they’ve been hinting at

I think Kristin’s winning #Survivor51. Her winner edit is clear, she’s in a good spot with Savu & I trust her clear headed decision making & relationships. I liked her call to stay on exile & was even more impressed that she was chosen for the journey as an apparent outsider #Survivor

I wonder if Kristin won if they’d have her journey to exile framed as Sharonda’s gameplay/ decision.

As an older millennial who was a teenager when the Star Wars Prequels were released, yes, plenty of people thought they sucked. Ironically, 'Attack of the Clones' probably enjoyed the best reception.
As an older millennial that was a teenager for these movies, I do not remember anybody saying the prequels sucked at the time. That was social media revisionism by nerdy edgelords on social media 10 years later. Episode I is a masterpiece (and Empire is still my favorite)
